In 2013 Ben Set to Pass Five HOF QBs

Being sick & tired of all the Flacco talk, time to remember, in the words of Charlie Sheen... winning! And a proven winner.
In nine NFL seasons, Ben Roethlisberger has won 87 games, ranking 26th all-time and putting him just 20 wins behind Steeler great Terry Bradshaw. Bradshaw is 9th all-time, but will likely be passed next season by Drew Brees, who is currently 12th all-time with 99 wins.
Barring injury or a catastrophic year, Ben should, in 2013, pass the following five Hall-of-Fame (HOF) Qbs currently ranked 18th-22nd :

Stat wise by the time Ben retires he'll be a Hall of Famer, no question about it. However, given the way the idiot voters' minds work, I wouldn't be shocked to see Ben get snubbed in his first ballot.

Hopefully by the time he retires, some of the dumbasses on that committee will either be dead or have gotten their heads out of their asses enough to realize that when a player deserves to be put in, he should be put in. None of this political crap of who should get in over who, and "oh well we can't have too many of this position get in, in the same year".

Add 2 rings to his projected career wins, yards, TDs... Total lock for the hall. 1st or 2nd ballot no doubt

You'd think so. But there is a QB with 2 SB wins who's not in the HOF: Jim Plunkett. Hard to fathom why
Stabler never got in either. Given Ben's negative public persona he's gonna need all the stats he can muster. Ever notice how there's no Big Ben among the star players highlighted on NBC's SNF intro (with Faith Hill)?

I don't care for the winey stuff. I don't really care what the media says. If Ben isn't in the hall by the 2nd-3rd ballot, I will complain about it.
